(SPOT.ph) True-blue carnivores will know that Wagyu beef is prized for a reason.

Good news: You can soon indulge your hankerings at Wagyu Studio—a soon-to-open restaurant at the Finance Center in Bonifacio Global City that specializes in all things Wagyu. They're opening their doors on October 31, 2020.

Put Wagyu Studio on your list of must-try BGC restaurants:
"Wagyu is and always will be the centerpiece of the Wagyu Studio," says operations director Lui Clavano in a statement. "We believe in preparing high-quality ingredients in the most creative ways, adding to the experience above and beyond our unequaled Wagyu." At the helm of the kitchen is Chef Yoji Kitayama, who has worked for the luxury hotels like the Hotel Okura Amsterdam, Grand Hyatt Tokyo, and more.
Be prepared to see Wagyu beef in a whole new light, as they'll be preparing the beef in all sorts of ways. The restaurant is divided into the Yakiniku Lounge and the Live Kitchen, and will also have a Butcher Shop where you can shop prime cuts of Japanese beef imported exclusively by Wagyu Studio.
At the Yakiniku Lounge, you can choose from beef of different fattiness levels and cook it for yourself at the table. The short-but-sweet yakiniku menu includes the Akami or lean beef, the Chutori or semi-fatty beef, the Otoro or fatty, and the Mix. They've also got the Sukiyaki or sliced sirloin with egg.
With your beef, you can also order sides like Gohan or steamed rice, Gyudon or Wagyu rice bowl, and Katsu Sando or cutlet sandwich. There will also be appetizers like the Edamame with truffle salt, Nikumiso or wagyu dip with cabbage, and Gyoza or Wagyu dumplings.
Meanwhile, you can try out Wagyu Studio's tasting menu (P10,000+/head) at the Live Kitchen. The multi-course menu includes signatures like the Wagyu Sando, Tricolor Tartar, and Josper.
Drinks are no mere afterthought here, either; Wagyu Studio carries an array of wines, sake, beer, and cocktails—one of which is the one-of-a-kind Wagyu Old Fashioned with rendered Wagyu fat.
